ROME - The English Theatre of Rome has presented a weekend of 'laughs, lust and love at Teatro l’Arciliuto' in Piazza Montevecchio. 

The feature is Loveplay written by Moira Buffini. 

 Directed by Douglas Dean and directed by Gaby Ford, Loveplay is a serio-comic look at two thousand years of human folly in 90 minutes. Saucy, powerful and hilarious, Loveplay makes a voracious search through time and history and challenges the whys and ways we aspire to love.

ROME -- In some ways, the Italian national team has been doing well in spite of, rather than because of, Serie A for many years. World champions in 2006 and runners-up to the seemingly unstoppable Spain at Euro 2012, they've been one of the international game's powerhouses. Meanwhile, the domestic league, which once produced a never-ending selection of world-class talent for the Azzurri, has been crumbling.

 SIENA - Ten good reasons to visit this Tuscan hill town, from the language to the religion via the sports-crazed and the Christmas spirit.

The Italian town is spelled with one ‘N’, not two. In Italian anyway, and often in English too. The name is pronounced smoothly, without a double consonant unnecessarily adding stress to the word. The smooth city name contrasts with the contrasted topography your legs can’t help but complain about, but the city’s atmosphere will soon enough relax the visitor coming from Rome.
